The Grossest Snack Ever...not really

This past Thursday our GEMS and Boys Clubs met again. Each week comes with new Bible Stories, games, and snacks. This week was no exception. Halloween seemed to be on the minds of the leaders this night.
Shawn is always thinking outside the box and this night he was definitely leaping.
After a time outdoors in the darkness, the boys sat down to a snack of GEMS fingers. Don't they look tasty? I tried one. A bit dry, but quite good. The dirt was especially yummy.
If you weren't into fingers....no worries. Jello Brains were also on the menu. Someone certainly lost their mind this evening. I think the boys were scared b/c not too many of them tried the brain jello. : )
Here's Shawn coaxing them to give those brains a try.
A unique drink was also offered. I'm not even sure what it was.
I moved on to the GEMS to discover them making beaded people for their craft. I think someone said they were supposed to be vampires or something, but I could be wrong on that one.
For snack they were a bit more civil. Lots of cupcakes made into a nice looking pumpkin.
I think both group leaders love to fill our kids with sugar, and then send them home to see what happens. Thanks to all you who take the time out to build relationships with our younger crowd here at Calvin. It's awesome to see the creativity and time you all put in. Above and beyond the call, as always.
